Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 753 - 246: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain
"It seems that you don’t take me, the Saintess, seriously," Despite not knowing what exactly a Saintess is, judging from the guard’s reaction, her status must not be lower than that of Hu Linglong.
With a cold glare from Yun Sheng, the guard shuddered.
The always gentle Saintess, suddenly displaying her authority, frightened the guard, who hurriedly explained: "Holy Daughter, please calm your anger, I dare not offend. These people were captured by Lord Linglong, saying they are to be used as a sacrifice for the Magic Wand."
"Where are those people now?" Yun Sheng surveyed the Skyship, which was much larger than the one she had previously obtained from the Dark Night Pavilion.
This Five-Colored Airship looked very special; it’s not out of question that there might be other Magic Arrays arranged within it.
"This..." The guard felt that there was something off with the Holy Daughter tonight.
In his memory, the Holy Daughter rarely appeared in public, and even when she went out, she was always accompanied by Lord Linglong, who conveyed messages on her behalf.
But tonight, whether it was due to the darkness of night, or perhaps...
The guard always felt that tonight’s Holy Daughter, just by standing there, gave off an intimidating aura that should not be underestimated.
The guard, consumed by doubt, secretly raised his head, but the face he saw was indeed that of the Holy Daughter.
The Holy Daughter of the Sky Fox Clan, not to mention anything else, was so beautiful that even her cousin, Lord Linglong, would feel inferior in comparison.
The guard’s odd behavior caught Yun Sheng’s side glance.
Yun Sheng had a thought, her gaze shifted, and a flash of gold light swept through her black pupils.
The guard was struck as if by lightning, his mind going blank in an instant.
"Tell me, where are those who have been captured?" Yun Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Her power with Shennong’s Eyes had improved considerably compared to before, giving her full confidence in controlling a capable Sky Fox Guard.
Moreover, this guard had always believed that Yun Sheng was some Holy Daughter of the Sky Fox Clan, fostering a sense of awe and neglecting to guard against her, hence he was easily hypnotized by Yun Sheng’s Shennong’s Eyes.
The guard took Yun Sheng to a cabin; upon looking inside, aside from that delirious trainee, the rest were indeed locked up there.
Upon seeing Yun Sheng, those people immediately became agitated.
"Everyone calm down, first tell me, how many people are here?" Yun Sheng was afraid of alarming others on the Skyship.
She observed that not only were there people from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp detained in the cabin, but there were also some from the Martial Artist Elite Camp, and even some young masters from noble families on the continent.
Some of these people had been captured by Hu Linglong for several days already.
Hu Linglong would extract one person every day to absorb their Magic Soul, and seeing their companions becoming imbeciles, they were all terrified. Now, finally seeing someone coming to rescue them, they all surged forward in a swarm.
After confirming the number of people, Yun Sheng also made sure if anyone was injured. As it turned out, the majority had suffered injuries to varying degrees during their capture.
To prevent the mages and martial artists from escaping, Hu Linglong had even applied the Magic Soul Lock, and for the martial artists, their fighting spirit was specifically sealed by Prohibition.
"What a malicious woman," Yun Sheng muttered with a frown.
It seems that Hu Linglong is also a very calculating person.
The disciples who went to send messages to the two elders have been out of touch all along.
The unexpected injuries of Liu Tongtian and Senior Sister Lan caused the Mainland Magic Elite Camp to lose most of its combat power.
The remaining trainees are also nothing but a motley crew.
To save someone... afraid that it might not be easy, Yun Sheng furrowed her brows as she thought for a moment, then looked around the dark cabin at pairs of frightened and uneasy eyes.
A plan suddenly formed in her mind.
"Who is on board, and where is the cockpit?" The guard, looking bewildred, informed Yun Sheng.
On the skyship, Hu Linglong was in meditation, assimilating the Magic Soul of a Human Clan trainee for her own use.
Just then, there came a hasty knock on the door.
A voice from outside said: "Lord Linglong, there are assassins on board, and the humans in the cabin have escaped."
"What?" Hu Linglong, upon hearing this, grabbed her Magic Wand and rushed out.
Arriving at the cabin where the prisoners were held, she saw it was completely empty, not a single person was left.
"Damn humans, someone come quick, call up six Priests and chase after them with me," Hu Yan heeded the guard’s guidance, leading several high-level experts of the Sky Fox Clan in the direction of the "fugitives."
No sooner had Hu Linglong left than Yun Sheng and some trainees poked their heads out from another hidden room close by.
The dozens of hostages from before hadn’t actually escaped at all; they had just been urgently moved by Yun Sheng to the cabin next door.
Hu Linglong, having only checked the original cabin, didn’t imagine that the very people she was chasing were actually right next door.
The trainees, especially, had been genuinely worried about being discovered by Hu Linglong a moment ago.
"Yun... Captain Yun, what should we do next?" Two trainees were by now truly recognizing Yun Sheng’s role as their captain.
"No time to waste, immediately drive the skyship away. The captain has been temporarily subdued," Yun Sheng had found her way to the cockpit earlier.
Like the guard from before, the captain also mistook Yun Sheng for the Heavenly Fox Clan’s Saintess and got fooled by Yun Sheng when he was caught off guard.
Hu Linglong, along with a group of Sky Fox Clan experts, were chasing at full speed, led by that Fox Clan guard.
After an intense half-hour chase, they still hadn’t caught even a glimpse of a shadow.
Hu Linglong couldn’t help but grow suspicious. Not to mention the assassins who had intruded on the skyship, but just those hostages who had their Magic Souls and fighting spirit restrained, how could they have possibly run off so far, so quickly.
And they couldn’t catch up even with magic?
"Stop, are you sure the people went in this direction?" Hu Linglong called out to the guard ahead of her.
But the guard seemed confused and couldn’t answer for a long time.
"Lord Linglong, something seems off with this person," one of the six Priests following her, who seemed the eldest, stepped forward. He knew a bit of Gu Technique.
He observed the guard’s vacant gaze and nonsensical speech, which was very similar to those who had been bewitched by witchcraft.
At this moment, a flicker of multicolored light flashed across the distant sky.
"Damn it, we’ve fallen for a misdirection, hurry, let’s get back," Hu Linglong was seething with rage.
That Five-Colored Airship was a treasure of her father’s. If she lost it, she would surely face punishment upon returning.
On the airship, Yun Sheng and two other trainees didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until the ship had lifted off the ground.
As long as the airship left the middle area of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, they would be safe.
"Captain Yun, it’s bad, they’re chasing us again," just a mere 15 minutes into their flight, when they were about to enter the outer perimeter of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, a trainee on deck, in a panic, pointed below the airship.
